WHAT RAISES THE STATUS OF LUKMAN IBN THARAN (THE ONE IN SURAH 31) Someone who knew Lukman as a slave from Ethiopia asked him what has suddenly changed him from whom he was to a wise man who the kings and the rich consult. This is his answer; I LOWER MY GAZE, I WATCH MY TONGUE, I EAT WHAT IS LAWFUL, I KEEP MY CHASTITY, I FULFILL MY PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS, I AM HOSPITABLE TO GUESTS, I RESPECT MY NEIGHBORS AND I DISCARD WHAT DOES NOT CONCERN ME. ALL THESE MADE ME WHO YOU ARE LOOKING AT. Which of these qualities can you and I take from this man of God to better our lives? I guess all of them are good traits the Quran and Sunnah taught us. MAY ALLAH GIVE US THE STRENGTH TO PRACTICALIZE ALL OF THESE QUALITIES INTO OUR LIVES.
